IPL 2025: [WATCH] Digvesh Rathi Dismisses Naman Dhir With A Stunner

Lucknow Super Giants are taking on Mumbai Indians in match 16 of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Batting first on their home ground, LSG looked to put up a competitive total against a strong MI side led by Hardik Pandya.

While the surface offered some help to bowlers, LSG’s batting lineup tried to find momentum despite some early pressure. The team is still working on getting key batters like Rishabh Pant and Will Jacks into form, which continues to be a challenge this season.

Rathi Breaks Through as Dhir Departs

In a key moment of the match, Digvesh Rathi made a strong impact for Lucknow Super Giants by taking the crucial wicket of Mumbai Indians’ Naman Dhir. Just after the break, Rathi bowled a smart leg-break delivery at 96.3 kmph that skidded through sharply.

Dhir misjudged the length and played the wrong shot, completely missing the ball. His off-stump was knocked out of the ground, giving LSG a much-needed breakthrough. This moment shifted the energy of the game as Rathi celebrated the important dismissal with high intensity.

Lucknow’s Concerns Despite Recent Win

Although LSG secured a victory in their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the team still seems to be finding its rhythm. Key players like captain Rishabh Pant and Will Jacks are yet to contribute significantly with the bat. Their inconsistency in the top order has been a concern.

However, the bowling unit, led by Shardul Thakur, has shown promise. Thakur has been consistent in his performances, and the rest of the bowling attack has supported him well. The team is hoping for stronger batting displays to complement their bowling efforts in upcoming matches.

Mumbai Indians Regain Momentum

Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, entered the match against LSG with confidence following a dominant victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. The team, filled with star players, had been struggling to perform as a unit.

However, in their last match, they finally clicked together and showcased their full potential. When the MI squad is performing at its best, they have the strength and firepower to overpower any opposition. Talent has never been an issue for them—it has only been a matter of execution and coordination. Against LSG, MI looked to continue this form and build momentum in the tournament.
